About Sharon

Dr. Sharon Belhamel is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who helps people manage anger, anxiety, stress, and major life changes. She focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Her approach is calm and straightforward, aimed at making daily life feel more manageable.

She draws on two decades of clinical experience. Sessions look at what’s happening now and what patterns keep repeating. Dr. Belhamel uses talk-based methods and skill-building exercises so clients can learn tools they actually use between meetings.

Common concerns she addresses include depression, relationship strains, career stress, grief, trauma and abuse, and issues related to addiction. She also supports people dealing with ADHD, self-esteem, bipolar concerns, and compassion fatigue. Anger is one of the areas she helps people work through by exploring triggers and building coping strategies.

Her methods include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. These approaches guide problem-solving, emotion regulation, and values-based action.

Dr. Belhamel practices in Georgia and works with clients in English. She accepts international clients. To begin, people use the platform’s Start Therapy button, fill out a short matching questionnaire, and schedule sessions based on availability.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It focuses on small, concrete steps to move toward a life that matters to the client. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change patterns that keep difficulties going. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers clear strategies for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance and interpersonal skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to see which methods fit their goals and daily life. Sessions can blend approaches so people learn coping skills, communication techniques, and behavior changes that match their needs.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online work helps fit therapy into a busy schedule, makes it easier to keep regular appointments, and supports shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can tailor session pacing and homework to what works in a person’s everyday routine, helping skills transfer from sessions into real life.
